All the rest of my chicks were bouncing around the incubator when I got home from work! My lil one is alive and hatched an hour ago! Very tired and resting! Everyone is happy!
Almost like yours, blood around the external pip. So I peeled the shell from the air cell to the pip - while setting it on a moist towel. Was worried it might not be able to breathe - hope it makes it, the yolk is almost absorbed. Will check keep checking to see when the blood vessels start...
Well, I already had to help one of the malpositioned ones. Got part of the shell off, and wrapped in a moist paper towel. I had three externally pip and the malpositioned one was so tight up against the shell-had to help, the outer layer was turning brown by it's beak. Hope she makes it.
